More info

The Alpha R35 GT-R Carbon Ceramic Brake Package shaves 62lbs of rotating mass AND improves the braking capabilities of your GT-R. This is the perfect brake kit if you race or have a high powered street GT-R!

Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB) evolved from Formula 1 racing and have proven themselves on some of the fastest and most exotic cars including the Lamborghini Gallardo, Koenigsegg CCX and Lexus LFA. Exotic Car Manufacturers chose Carbon Ceramic braking technology because it drastically reduces unsprung weight (rotating mass as opposed to static weight). This is important because if the engine and drivetrain have less mass to get moving, it translates to quicker acceleration and better low end power, not to mention less drivetrain breakage, and quicker suspension response.

Unlike a drag-only brake option, this kit will improve your stopping power. The Alpha Carbon Brake Package is the perfect mix of lightweight components yet decreases the required stopping distance vs. the stock brakes making it a great option for use on both the drag strip and the street.

The Brembo® Carbon Ceramic brake rotors utilized in this package weigh almost 50% less than equivalent cast-iron units. They also and have a lifespan of up to 4x longer and are capable of operating at extreme temperatures without warping. These vented vane Carbon Ceramic rotors feature a lightweight, hard anodized aluminum hat and come assembled with genuine Brembo® hardware. We also include Alpha braided stainless steel brake lines, Alpha spec brake pads and even apply brake disc temperature paint to the rotors to monitor heat levels for an all-inclusive package.

Another benefit of the Alpha Carbon Ceramic Brakes is they do not squeak. Normally when you outfit your car with racing brake pads they squeak loudly causing embarrassing situations at stop lights. This typically is an inevitable annoyance with the standard racing pad/rotor combination. With the Alpha Carbon Ceramic brakes however this is a thing of the past. Now you can drive in to that car show, drive thru or nightclub with confidence!

This is the same kit we developed and use on our world record holding, 2000+HP Alpha Omega R35 GT-R which has slowed Omega down from over 185mph drag passes! If the Alpha Carbon Ceramic Brake Package can stop Omega, imagine what it can do for your GT-R!

Notes

•Minor clearancing of the rear calipers is necessary for installation. This can be done by using the supplied instructions or the calipers can be sent in for us to perform this service.

•Brake disc temperature paint. Green and red paint turn white, orange turns yellow at the corresponding temperature level: Green 430ºC (800ºF), Orange 560ºC (1040ºF), Pink 610ºC (1130ºF). It is suggested to keep rotor temperatures below 540ºC (1000ºF) for longevity

•Due to the reflective heat properties associated with a carbon rotors AMS highly recommends the user flush the brake system with a high temperature performance brake fluid such as Motul or Castrol SRF
